When friends are gone,And silence reignsThe rustle of the leavesThe whisper of the windSoftly echoes the same refrain“Child you gotta to hold on””

By the skin of your teeth,By the seat of your pantsThrough stormy gale,And fiery furnace

I am with you… I promised to never leaveSo yes! “You gotta to hold on”

‘Cos when all’s said and doneThe curtain’s been drawnWhen the night has passedAnd the tears have driedI promise you this my childI promise you that you will look backDown the passage of timeAnd the words, the encoreThat will resonate in your heart:

Thank God, the One who said to my soulDon’t give up; don’t give in;“You gotta to hold on”

If you are holding on, don’t give up!

If you are hoping, don’t give up hope!

If you are believing, don’t give up believing!

For your weeping may endure for a night

But in the morning, joy will come,

Again I say, ‘You’ve got to hold on…’

Psalm 30:5For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life;Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
